I'm in Cherokee and the kids start tomorrow. Of course we have a week off at the end of September! It's so worth it!

Lady Raider, the white one with blue eyes may be deaf unless there is some siamese in the lineage.

A&D ointment was what my doctor suggested and I still keep a tube around!

This morning I had trouble with my new car and while I was waiting for my son, many people stopped to ask if I needed help. I didn't, but thanks to everyone who asked. Paulding people are great!

I have paresthesia in my feet from diabetes. It's caused by nerve damage and at times my feet will itch. I put a cold pack on the spot for a few minutes and it's the only thing that helps.

As a teacher, I've read them so that I can keep up with the kids. They are well written and have started many discussions about language and the differences between American English and the "King's English."
They also can lead to discussions with children about loyalty, friendship and making wise decisions as they grow up. I personally think that they are a good thing for parents to read with kids.

I'm off of 61N and mine is fine, TV and internet...

MrsHoward, his wife is Lynette on "Desperate Housewives."

I can think of many actors and actresses that I don't get excited about seeing, but I don't hate any of them. If there is a movie or tv show that appeals to me I will watch it whether they are in it or not. I choose what I see by the content and storyline not by the actor's looks or politics.
That being said, Gilbert Gottfried annoys me to death!

TBAR, You and Ellen should plan a fundraiser! A BBQ?

I was trapped in an airplane and watched "A River Runs Through It," but was sooooo glad I didn't pay to go see it at a theater!
-
Amen.

Loves2Crop, we have the same tastes in books. Love'em!

Ummmmm?
Maybe I should be SEMI-retiredteacher? I work only half-time now but it's in my blood and I can't stop. I love my job!

My son has one for work. When he had to go to Belgium for a month, he forwarded all of his calls to his blackberry so I was able to make a local call to reach him. He also picks up his e-mail on it. The company pays for it so I have no idea of the cost.

We just made HOT TOPICS on WSB! Yikes...

My opthamologist does a lot of them. Last time I had a checkup, I mentioned that I'm getting to the point where I have to take my glasses off sometimes to see tiny print (even tho' I'm very nearsighted).
He said that's why he hadn't had lasik himself - you lose that ability when you get older! Convinced me not to do it.

My question is: Didn't the courts in NJ check any of this stuff out to see if the two parties were telling the truth? Don't they investigate or at least ask for some proof such as leases, pay stubs, etc. before making custody judgements?

Honkin, is there any other way we can help? Taking them dinner at the hospital for instance? Prayers continue...
-
Cableman, let us know if we can help you search. You're always there when we need you and we'd like to help you if we can. I'll pray for your whole family.

I live in Windmill Creek off 61N. We'll watch out for her. She could easily get this far, especially if she was chasing something.

Since Hardy is our sponsor for this forum, I decided to post it here! I had a great experience today. Usually car-buying is a nightmare but I got a wonderful, helpful, LOW-PRESSURE salesman. I got a great deal and came away happy!
Anyone who wants to buy a Ford, PM me and I'll give you the salesman's name.

Not me, definitely, since I don't know what's going on!

I've gotten great coverage with cingular. There are a few dead spots but I started getting better reception at home after the merger with AT&T.
Be careful about the phone you choose. There are six people in my office at school and the room is notorious for poor reception. There have been times when everyone had to use my phone because mine was the only one working. Some of them also have cingular so I can only conclude it was the phones that were the problem.
Anyone have any kittens to give away?

There is a known link between white coat color, blue eyes and deafness - but since the coat and eye color can be caused by different genes it means that only some blue eyed whites are deaf. There is a gene/gene complex which causes white coat, blue eyes and deafness, but not all cats get their white coat and blue eyes from that particular gene, so not all white cats will be deaf.
If the cat is a Foreign/Oriental White, it carries the gene for 'Siamese Blue Eyes' which is not linked to deafness (the gene for Siamese Blue Eyes is linked to cross-eyes instead). Siamese blue eyes have a reflective tapetum, but this is depigmented because the Siamese colour is caused by albinism. This depigmentation gives the red-eye with flash cameras. Random matings can mean that this gene sometimes appears in non Oriental-looking cats which have colorpoint cats in their ancestry.
